**NOTE: **Use this topic to learn more about protocol task status alerts, which are based on your dairy protocols and scheduling setup. PULSE also offers an option to set KPI-based alerts for your dairy. See [How do I set KPIs and alerts?](docId\:UTbvgtdQOd86JcLXo9h9z) to learn more about KPI-based alerts.
:::

You can receive a daily email or text that provides a quick status update about the day's scheduled processes. For example, you can set up a daily alert that summarizes the progress of your dairy's scheduled protocol tasks. In a short message, the system tells you how many tasks were completed, are overdue, and other details.

- **Timeframe Preferences:** Enter the time you want to receive your daily alert.
- **Protocols to Check:** Select the protocols that should be included in the alert.
- **Users to Notify:** Select the users that need to receive the alert and indicate whether the user should receive the alert in an email, text message, or both.
- Click **Save** to add the alert.
  The Process Scheduler calendar now includes the alert and you should now receive a daily alert at the designated time.
